In detail

The sector of the embassies, Herăstrău park and the Primăverii villas — and of Gara de Nord. Its coefficient has fallen hard, from 128.87 in 2023 to 103.17 in 2024 and 96.50 in 2025, now mid-table. The figures are the Bucharest Police's own published “coefficient of specific criminality” by sector, 2014-2025. The force does not state what the coefficient is per, so it is used here to compare sectors against each other and against their own past, which is what it supports, and not read as a rate per head. The amber is for the station and its immediate surroundings, which are crowded, transient and the one place in Bucharest where pickpocketing is a routine expectation — not for Herăstrău or Aviatorilor, which are among the calmest addresses in the city.

Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.

This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Bucharest publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.
